The Lifetime Limited Warranty is Ella's parts warranty for the first purchaser of a walk-in tub at its original installation address. It covers the bathtub shell, frame, door, door seal and finish for life, and it also covers all supporting equipment, including motors, pumps, fixtures, electronic controls, faucet, waste, overflow and plated finishes, for life. The thermostatic control valve (TCV) is the published exception at 1 year, and labor is never covered. Owners sometimes call it the lifetime parts warranty or simply the Ella warranty; the published text lives at ellasbubbles.com/warranty.
How It Works
This is a parts warranty. When a covered part fails under normal use, Ella's Bubbles ships the verified replacement part free of charge to the original installation address. Verification means photos of the defective part and a description of the problem, and once the defect is verified the part is shipped. Labor, installation, removal and water damage to structures or property are excluded, so the cost of a plumber or installer to fit the part is the owner's responsibility. Our article on parts, labor and free lifetime tech support explains what that looks like in practice.
If you own an older printed manual, you may see a 5-year term on pumps and equipment. That text is outdated; the current published warranty gives supporting equipment the same lifetime limited coverage as the shell. See which warranty applies when an older manual says five years.
Which Ella Models Have It
The Lifetime Limited Warranty applies across the Ella walk-in tub range, whatever door style or therapy package you chose. Coverage on non-Ella faucets is the manufacturer's own warranty rather than Ella's, and the TCV carries its 1-year limited warranty; both are explained in warranty exceptions for the TCV and faucets.
What to Know as an Owner
The warranty is nontransferable and is void if the tub is relocated or ownership changes, so it stays with the first purchaser at the original address. Warranty transfer and ownership covers what that means if you sell your home. Promises made by a dealer or contractor do not bind Ella's Bubbles; the published terms are the ones that apply.
Keep the warranty in good standing by having the tub leveled correctly, keeping a filter or mesh on the TCV water lines and cleaning it periodically, and following the published cleaning routine. For a warranty ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support, have ready: your serial number, clear photos of the part, a short description of the fault and the address where the tub was installed.
